O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Key of David, come, And open wide our heavenly home; O come, Thou Root of Jesse's tree, An ensign of Thy people be; He has come Emmanuel has come He has come O come, Desire of Nations, bind In one the hearts of all mankind; Bid Thou our sad divisions cease, And by thyself our King of Peace. He's coming toward you He's coming toward us now He's coming toward you He's coming toward you my friend He's coming toward you And He's always been.
